Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why cant I reset my password?

Coinbase takes a number of steps to ensure the security of our customers accounts. These include enforcing strong passwords, two-factor authentication, and device verification.

When a customer attempts to reset their password, we take precautions to ensure that it is a legitimate request. This means that our customers may only reset their passwords from devices they have previously verified, or from locations they have previously logged in from. This requirement provides a safeguard against attempts to illegitimately reset your password.

If you are having trouble resetting your password, you will need to:

1. Reset it from a device you have previously used to access Coinbase.
2. Reset it from a location (IP address) youve previously used to access Coinbase.

As a security precaution, if you reset your password from a new device, you won’t be able to send crypto from your account for up to 48 hours. To avoid this send restriction, request a password reset from a previously authorized device.

If you no longer have access to a previously validated device or IP address, please contact Coinbase Support so we can have a member of our security team assist you with a password reset.

Important: Coinbase Support will NEVER ask for your account password or 2-step verification codes.

Why will my password reset require 24 hours to process?

As noted above, Coinbase only processes password reset requests from devices that have been previously authorized to access your account. If you are resetting your password from a new device, our system may delay the processing time for 24 hours in the interest of keeping your account secure. This can be bypassed by resetting your password from a previously verified device.

Note: If you do not have a previously authorized device, please do not make additional attempts to log in. Each new attempt resets the clock and will prolong the delay.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I verify my bank info?

Attention
Linking your bank account is only available in these regions at this time: US, (most of) EU, UK.

In some cases, you may need to contact your bank.

When you add a payment method, two small verification amounts will be sent to your payment method. You must enter these two amounts correctly in your payment methods from your Settings in order to finish verifying your payment method.

Bank verification amounts are sent to your bank and appear on your online statement and on your paper statement. For faster verification, youll need to access your online bank account and search for Coinbase.


Bank Account

For bank accounts, the two amounts will be sent as credits. If you dont see your credits, please try the following:

1. Check your upcoming or pending transactions in your online bank account
2. You may need to check your full bank statement, as these transactions may be omitted from some online banking apps and websites. A paper statement may be necessary
3. If you dont see these transactions, speak with your bank to help track down any hidden or omitted details on your statement. Some banks will merge the verification credits, showing only the total amount
4. If none of the previous options work, visit your payment methods page and remove and re-add the bank to have the credits sent again. Re-sending the verification credits will void the first pair sent, so you may end up with more than one pair of verification credits

If you are using an "online bank" or similar banking product offered by your bank, you may not receive the verification credits. In this case, the only option is to try another bank account.


Debit Card

For cards, these verification amounts will be sent as charges. Coinbase will make two test charges to the card of amounts between 1.01 and 1.99 in your local currency. These should appear in the recent activity section of your card issuers website as pending or processing charges.

Please note:

• Charges for exactly 1.00 are not used for card verification and can be ignored. These are caused by the card processing network, and are separate from the Coinbase verification amounts
• Neither the verification amounts nor the 1.00 charges will post to your card—they are temporary. They will display as pending for up to 10 business days, then disappear.

If you dont see the verification amounts in your card activity, please try the following:

1. Wait 24 hours. Some card issuers may take longer to display the pending amounts
2. If you dont see the test charges appear after 24 hours, contact your bank or card issuer to ask if they can provide the amounts of any pending Coinbase authorizations
3. If your card issuer is unable to find the charges, or if the amounts have already been removed, return to the payment methods page and select verify next to your card. You will see an option to re-charge your card at the bottom
4. Sometimes your card issuer may flag one or all of these verification amounts as fraudulent and block the charges. If that is the case, you will need to contact your card issuer to stop the blocking, and then restart the verification process

How to successfully verify a billing address

If you receive an "Address did not match" error when adding a Visa or MasterCard debit card, it means the information you entered may not be verifying correctly with your credit cards issuing bank.

To fix this error:

1. Confirm that there are no missing characters or misspellings in the name and address you entered, and that the card number you are entering is correct.
2. Make sure that the billing address you are entering is the same billing address that is on file with your card provider. If you have recently moved, for example, this information may be out of date.
3. Enter only the street address on line 1. If your address contains an apartment number, do not add the apartment number in line 1.
4. Contact your credit cards service number and verify the exact spelling of your name and address on file.
5. If your address is on a numbered street, spell out the name of your street. For example, enter "123 10th St." as "123 Tenth St."
6. If at this point you still receive an "address did not match" error please contact Coinbase support.

Also note that only Visa and MasterCard debit cards are supported at this time. Prepaid cards or cards without residential billing addresses, even those with the Visa or MasterCard logo, are not supported.

When will I receive my cryptocurrency from my card purchase?

Some payment methods such as credit and debit cards may require you to confirm all transactions with your bank. After starting a transaction, you may be sent to your banks website to authorize the transfer (Not applicable to US customers).

Funds will not be debited from your bank, or credited to your Coinbase account, until the authorization process on your banks site is complete (US customers will see the bank transfer complete immediately with no confirmation through your bank). This process usually only takes a few minutes. If you choose to not authorize the transfer, no funds will be transferred and the transaction will usually expire after about one hour.

Note: Only applicable to certain US, EU, AU, and CA customers.

What is the minimum amount of cryptocurrency that I can purchase?

You can purchase or sell as little as 2.00 of digital currency denominated in your local currency ($2 or €2 for example).
